🔥 Simulating Course Schedules 600x Faster with Web Workers in CourseCast

A recent article discusses how the CourseCast application significantly improved its performance by utilizing web workers to simulate course schedules. Previously, the Monte Carlo simulations for student schedule assignments were slow, taking about a minute per request, which limited scalability and user experience. By transitioning the computation to the client side using web workers, the application achieved sub-second execution times, making it virtually infinitely scalable and faster than a page load.
